About This Game

As so many of these things do, it all begins on a magical island. In this case, Gogapoe Island, a place populated by both humans and monsters. What starts out as a mission to get back Niko's birthday cake becomes a quest for the fate of Gogapoe itself. But, ya know, cake is still super important, too!

Oodles of friendly monsters will join Niko's quest and use their kooky powers to help him explore the island, solve puzzles, demolish obstacles, and just generally humiliate enemies. Hordes of evil monsters will cause mayhem and generally be jerkfaces, but that's nothing you can't fix with headbutts, frost breath, stink clouds and rainbow barf.

Save the day and fulfill your monstrous cakelust all at once in MONSTERS ATE MY BIRTHDAY CAKE!

When I saw this project on kickstarter I felt that it was something unique to make happen and now after playing the full game I'm glad that I backed this project so full of charm, clever puzzles and a great atmosphere that bring smile for you face while playing the journey to caught who ate the Niko's birthday cake. It's a masterpiece.

The game sets a new milestone in casual gaming. The quality of graphics, music and animation is exceptional. Puzzles are fun and hard enough to make you spend extra hours polishing each level. One of the rare games that was Kickstarted to be a new masterpiece.

Beautifully well-made game. The art is so playful and clean. The puzzles are fun and even become a challenge when you're trying to 3-star a level. Plus the music is done by Disasterpeace so you know it's grand.

Oh and a unicorn freaking BARFS RAINBOWS!

In case no one can tell from the trailer video, it's a puzzle adventure game with a bunch of cute monsters and villagers in it. It requires some teamwork with these cuties to get all your cake back.

Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake is an adorable, nostalgic, puzzle solving game with a simple premise; monsters ate your birthday cake. Literally. The colors are bright and the shapes are appealing. I can understand why Cartoon Network picked this project up later on. As I was using an xbox controller, the controls are obviously different. But it requires little to no effort to do anything in this game. All you need is the left thumbstick, the 'A' button, and your 'LB'/'RB' buttons. The dialogue is cute and light with adorable humor. I'll forever use 'broccoli farts' as an endearing way to say 'gas'. And of course, the music is light hearted and pleasant.

Now on to the actual game play!As I pointed out earlier, all you're doing is using your thumbstick to move , the 'A' button to use an action, and your 'LB'/'RB' buttons to change your character when you're in play. There are various little obstacles you need to overcome to help clear your way to collect cake pieces. (And some other goodies such as gold coins and keys)As this is a casual puzzle game, you don't actually die unless you step onto a trap or the boogies get you. The only limiter you sort of have is the timer. But you only really care about that if you want your 3 star ranking.The first two puzzles are extremely easy as they are there to introduce the game mechanics. Moving forward, you end up meeting monster friends one by one and they help you solve the various levels so that you can advance.

So far, this is an absolutely adorable, fun game for all ages.The only slightly annoying thing I encountered, and I don't know if it was just me, but the music volume would sort of go up and down in the beginning. But after a while it will go back to being consistant. I'm glad I donated for this project and I wish the guys at SleepingNinja much success. Thanks for such a wonderful and polished game!
